Title
Buildings in Old Broad Street
Description
A view of 1-9 Old Broad Street, City of London, starting with the National Westminster Bank at 9 (now 5) Old Broad Street of 1922-1936. The four-storey Grade II* listed bank was designed by Mewes and Davis in the italianate classical style using portland stone. Features include the first floor central window consisting of square panes surmounted by a triangular pediment and the ground floor arched windows and entrance with a metal grill fan light. The adjacent early twentieth-century seven-storey 2-3 Old Broad Street contains bay windows with classical rectangular ionic columns rising between the windows from the second to the third floor. Extending from the buildings are flag poles. At the end of the street is the side of 51-53 Threadneedle Street a five-storey bank building joined at the back to 9 Old Broad Street and also by Mewes and Davis of 1922-1936 in the Italianate style. A number of pedestrians and a bus stop sign on a concrete post can be seen in the photograph. The buildings remain with some modifications such as on the front of the former National Westminster Bank at number 9 which has been altered in a nineteenth-century french style and is now used as offices. Other buildings in the row are now used as commercial premises.
